LIVE CHALLENGE PT 2 - Brittany is there and HGs must decide which HG gets to talk to her. They start to choose Jamie, but Brittany jumps in and asks Josh to talk to her. She tells him to trust Curtis and Eddie, editing is pretty accurate, about the campaign from George's wife to vote out the most popular houseguests, and they are mean on the outside.
